Help prevent the sale of Mt Orford Park!

Mont-Orford National Park (in Québec, Provincial Parks are called National Parks), an exceptional and rare example of southern Québec deciduous forest, is about to be sold by Premier Jean Charest's government to a condo developer. Mt Orford is a long-time ski hill at the heart of the park. At nearly 1,000 metres it towers over the surrounding landscape. If Mr. Charest has his way, over 1,000 new condo units at the base of Mt Orford will cut a swath through the existing landscape around the mountain.

CPAWS and its partners in the SOS Parc Orford coalition have launched a public campaign to convince the Québec government not to pass a special law that would permit sale of the parkland. A survey conducted by Léger Marketing revealed that 76 % of the people of Québec oppose the sale of land in Mont-Orford Park.

Please join us by telling the Québec government that a national park is a public trust, not a private development opportunity. Send a letter to Premier Charest now!
